“His court date isn’t until a few months and Kora made sure that he didn’t get bail.” Zoya got comfortable on Goon, who wrapped his arms back around her.

“I want him.”

“Can’t take on the world, Pop,” Blaze said, looking over at me.

I looked past him at Elijah who was enjoying playing the game, experiencing peace. This was probably the most peace he had ever experienced since everything happened. Mercer took my boy’s innocence, and while I couldn’t take on the world, that man had to see me about my son.

He needed to die by my hands, and I wouldn’t rest until it was done. The world needed to be rid of him. “Polo skipped town after Pops sent that basket to his house.”

“He running right into the trap that has been set. Miami is where he’s going to run… he has a bitch down there; think she got a baby. Polo is going to get comfortable, and we’ll let him get comfortable.”

“Tyshawn thinks I want to be back with him. He’s not a threat, either… if anything, he’s enjoying not being broke now that the vipers are back eating.” She shoved her phone into my face, and I watched as this nigga was pleading for my wife.

Wanting her back and trying to make her believe that she needed to be back with him. The nigga really thought I was dead, and that shit was hilarious. “I’m not taking that from you, Anjo. If you want to be the one to do it, I’m with you.”

“Me too, B.” Blaze said.

“Let me hold his head, ugh… hate that man,” Capri said.

Zoya looked at her. “As your defense attorney… I’ll be there in spirit.”

“Cause baby cakes gonna make sure her man stays free.”

“Not my man.”

“Yeah, you right,” he agreed.

“See, now you’re being reasonable.”

“I’m yo fucking husband, Zoya Caselli.” His lips brushed against her earlobe, and she shuttered.

Blaze looked at me. “Pop, Cherish was the one who shot me… don’t know what the fuck her reason is.”

“And she the same one who had them shoot up Kobe’s house.” Anjo added.

Havoc told me about the shit that went down, but he never mentioned Cherish’s name. I understood they were all trying not to stress me, but the shit had me pissed. That dusty booty bitch was always smiling in my fucking face, wanting to fuck me, knowing I was with her cousin.

Now the bitch was on some crusade on avenging her cousin’s death. “Sim…I know this may be hard to understand, but I need you to know that Rich didn’t kill Cherie. He only took credit for the shit because of Lucia. She admitted it to me before she killed herself. I believe only half of what people say, but something is telling me that she isn’t lying.”

Anjo kissed my hands as I leaned back and took in what she said. “Why the fuck would she kill her?”

“Rich wouldn’t leave Cherie alone… Lucia was sick in the mind, and very jealous. She was never chosen, and seeing Rich choose a woman who was in a relationship and a mother did something to her. It was easier for Rich to pretend and play big dawg, knowing he never had the heart to take her life.”

“All I know is that bitch has to die… she fucking shot me. I knew when I told her that her teeth was fucked up, she had beef with me.”

I chuckled while still in thought. “This man done sat me down again, let me handle it.”

“Yeah, and I’m gonna go shake my ass at Yasin’s club tonight,” Blaze replied.

Capri looked at him. “Then you need to go and get ready.”

“I’m dead serious, Sug.”

“I’ll go wit….” Anjo’s voice trailed off as my gaze lowered and looked at her, and she gave me a nervous smile. “Kidding.”

“All you need to know is that she will get handled… Meer, you can come but let me do this.” He reached for her hand and pulled her over toward him.

“You and Queen been running… do this, and then you sitting down and letting the Gods handle shit.”
